I'm finally getting some tanks setup up after moving to Texas a few months ago.

Just curious: how's the water down here? Is the pH stable? I suspect it's hard just from trying to get soap to lather but I haven't actually tested it yet.

Thanks

Ryan

here in Fort Worth I get 8.2 out of the tap, KH about 70 and GH about 160.

Thanks for the response. :)

Have you tested your pH after 24 hrs of agitation? Does it stay put?

it will come down to about 8.0 after aging

No problem, but now you're obligated to come to my house and tend to my discus when needed :)

I get that a lot, but it never holds up in court.
